So I have a friend that goes to a private religious college that requires everyone to go to chapel every day....(i know...i know...) Anyway, he works in the cafeteria, and his work shift causes him to miss chapel. Everytime he misses, he has to submit an excuse through a website, which is then approved by one of the deans of students.

He missed work one day, and still submitted an excuse for missing chapel... the dean compared his timecard with the excuse, and he's now in trouble for lying to a university official.

How legal is this? He does work for the university, so can anybody just check his time card? To me this reeks of violating privacy laws....

The only problem I see here is that you, err your friend's an idiot.
 
He works in the cafeteria.

School owns the cafeteria.

Dean runs the school.

Dean has access to his timecard. Of course this is legal.
 
Kudos to your friend for missing chapel. There's hope yet for him not to be brainwashed by jesus freaks.
 
I'd wonder more about why your friend is at a school with such regulations if he doesn't want to follow them, then lie about it. Of course, maybe he's forced their by his parents or something.
 
Legal, and the dean is a Nazi Facist.

(Unless your friend did something else to attract attention to himself that you arent telling us)
 
The only part of the workplace that you should expect to be private is the toilet. And even then, your privacy is limited. Get used to it.
 
I would say it depends on the laws in your state.

But I'm willing to bet this is perfectly legal.

Tell your friend to go to a real school, leave Bob Jones University.

I'm wondering if perhaps the OP's friend uses the same card to clock in to work as he does to verify his attendence at chapel...
 
Sounds like this was a part of the agreement he made with the school. He agreed to go to chapel every day, and I am sure that somewhere in that agreement is a clause saying that if you use work as an excuse to not attend chapel they can look at your timecard to verify it.

Yup.

He chose to go to this school so he chose to be bound to their rules when he enrolled.
